| Research Abstract |
In Japan, farmers' markets have attracted considerable attention as a new distribution system for agricultural products. A key characteristic of farmers' markets is a distribution system without intermediate wholesalers and retailers between farmers and consumers. Farmers' markets have faced sales, cultivation, inventory and quality management problems.
This paper proposes a Vender Managed Inventory system for fresh agricultural products. It is difficult to supply agricultural products adequately to meet demand because of the seasonality and uncertainty. Therefore, inventory management systems, which venders seize the leadership of decision making, are suitable for fresh agricultural products in terms of flexible supplying. This paper summarizes the introduction of the VMI system to a farmers' market by analyzing utilization of VMI support information system and inquiry survey of farmers.
